## Edit Window Toolbar

Edit Window toolbar

The Edit Window toolbar (View | Toolbars | Edit Window) is used to quickly access the many Edit window functions.

The toolbar is also used to manipulate Edit window content in a way that is easy and intuitive to use. The toolbar provides ready access to these important Edit window commands. Some icons only appear if you have the proper configuration.

Execute - This icon runs (or executes) the measurement process for any currently marked features. For more information, see "Executing Measurement Routines" in the "Using Advanced File Options" chapter.

Auto Tune Execution - This icon allows you to teach illumination, magnification, and image processing parameters of your measurement routine commands for the target optical machine. This icon only appears if you have a Vision configuration. For more information, see "Using AutoTune Execution" in the "PC-DMIS Vision" documentation.

Sequential Execution - This icon turns on a sequential execution mode, where execution does not proceed with the execution until it finishes calculating the current feature. For more information, see "Using Sequential Mode" in the "PC-DMIS Laser" documentation. This icon only appears if you have a Laser configuration.

Mark Current Feature - This icon highlights the feature under your cursor and prepares it for execution. For more information, see "Mark" in the "Editing a Measurement Routine" chapter.

In the Edit window, click on the command that you want to use for the start point and then click on the Start Point toolbar icon. The start point for the current arm will be set to the command located at the insertion point. You can also set a start point by right-clicking on a command and choosing Set Start Point. For more information on multiple arm mode, see the "Using Multiple Arm Mode" chapter. See "Setting Start Points" in the "Editing a Measurement Routine" chapter.
